Chastity Layman

Northwest of Songzhou.

On the southern slope of Yanyang Mountain, there is a branch ditch of Yangdong River and a strange narrow valley.

As the name suggests, the canyon is long and narrow. There are many mountains on both sides, green forests, towering ancient trees in the forest, branches and branches blowing the ground, wildebeest, clouded leopard, golden monkey and various rare and exotic animals live here.

This is a place outside the world.

But because the Yangdong River is a tributary of the Minjiang River, since Qin Qiong guarded and managed Songzhou, he widened and built a road leading to Dangxiang and Tuyuhun outside the customs along the Yangdong River Valley, so it is getting more and more lively every year.

A pass was also established in Qi Narrow Valley, and even on both sides of the pass, business travelers gradually built restaurants and inns for rest and lodging, and caravans also established mules and horse shops here to replace horse mules and so on.

The relevant place in the valley is named Leiguan, and Ningyuan’s army used to call it Leidaguan. It is said that before the building of the pass, there was a huge rock near this place, which was struck by lightning dozens of times every year, and the locals called it Leidashi.

Later, the Ningyuan army built a pass here. The huge rock was originally intended to be cut down to build the city, but just as the construction was about to start, there was a violent thunderstorm that night. Everyone was surprised to find that the huge rock was shattered into pieces by lightning land.

Instead, the work of excavation was saved, and the stones shattered by the thunder were transported back to build the city. It is strange to say that since this huge stone was shattered by the thunder to build the pass city, it was originally struck by thunder dozens of times a year. Since then, I have never been struck by lightning again.

Leiguan built by thunder and stone, behind is a strange narrow valley, a line of sky for forty miles, and in front is thousands of ravines converging, forming four mountains, rivers and valleys like a cross.

Guan stands here, blocking the only way along the Yangdong River to the Minjiang River and directly to Songzhou along the river.

Gal Dongzan stood outside Leida Pass, looking up at the pass city in front of him.

"It's really majestic. Is this the Thunderbolt Pass built with Thunderbolts?"

"That's right, this is it."

Gal Dongzan looked at it carefully, and he had heard the name of Lei Daguan in Songzhou when he was in Tubo, which was even more famous than Gansong Village on Gansong Ridge.

Just now, I didn't think this pass was majestic from a distance, but when I walked to this pass, I realized that this pass seemed inconspicuous, but it was actually very majestic.

It was because the cliffs on the two walls were too high that the pass seemed small, but when I stood in front of it, I realized that the pass was very high.

Next to Gal Dongzan is a Tubo businessman who often walks through this pass. He speaks Chinese well. He has to walk this road many times every year, and he has entered and exited this pass countless times.

"This pass is built across the Yangdong River. There are two forts in one pass. There are three pass walls and six pass gates. There are six pass forts in total. The pass is six feet high and three feet wide at the bottom. They are all made of solid stones. It is very solid." Although the guide has been here countless times, every time he passes through the pass, he is still amazed.

The people of the Tang Dynasty leaned against the mountains and leaned against the gorge, and took advantage of the situation to complete the pass, and the repair was very majestic and majestic.

At the mouth of the narrow and dangerous canyon, three pass walls were built across the river, each pass wall has two sides, and two pass fortresses were built on the cliffs.

There is always an elite Ningyuan army stationed at such a pass.

Gal Dongzan couldn't help frowning. The Ningyuan Army's mountain fortresses he encountered in Domi, Bailan, and Tubo were strong enough.

But at any rate, it is still possible to go around, but right now, this roadblock is impossible to go around.

He looked around. Although the pass is located at the mouth of the canyon, it is not entirely on the mouth. In fact, it is about two miles inside the mouth of the canyon. These two miles do not seem to be long, but if we really want to launch an attack, such a thin line of sky Such a narrow pass, but it is difficult to deploy any troops, let alone any equipment.

Then look at the two sides of the pass, the two cliffs are like blades, there is no chance at all.

The wonderful use of this terrain is better than thousands of troops.

"I heard that there is Yanmen Pass in the north of the Central Plains, which is known as the best pass in the world, and there is Tongguan Pass in the middle of the pass, also known as the natural barrier. Are those more dangerous than this?"

The guide nodded, "I have passed through Tongguan Pass, and I have also been to Yanmen Pass in Daibei. Compared with those two places, Leida Pass is very ordinary. Let's say that Yanmen Pass is the Great Wall Pass built by the Han people in the Central Plains. It is a pass. The circumference of the city is several miles, the height of the city is several feet, and it guards the pass of more than 60 miles. It is a large defensive fortress integrating the city, pass, fort, and pass. Tongguan is even better. Thousands of troops are stationed. In comparison, this Lei Daguan is very ordinary, it just borrows some terrain, and the usual resident soldiers are only a few hundred, and there are only three pass walls."

It's just one, and Gal Dongzan, who listened to it, was secretly startled, such a dangerous pass, he actually said it, how dangerous are Yanmen Pass and Tong Pass?

The mountain wind blew past, and Gar suddenly felt a little cold.

Because the flames had been ignited a long time ago, Lei Daguan had already closed and locked its doors, and the shops outside the pass had also closed their doors long ago, and all the vendors had left completely. The arrival of Gar and his party was very conspicuous.

It was closed quietly, but Garr had already noticed the shadow of cold arrows on the high pass wall and the fortresses on both sides.

Urge the horse to come to the pass.

Gal shouted to Guan Guan, revealing his identity as a Tubo envoy.

Sigh.

A feather arrow shot at his feet, almost touching his shoe toe, and Gar's heart was beating violently.

He tried to calm down and signed up loudly again.

"Is the visitor Xiao Fan Chou Rong?"

A guard with a helmet on the pass appeared and asked loudly.

"I am Gal Dongzan, the envoy of Dafan. I am ordered by my family Zanpu to go to Songzhou to mourn Duke Qi, and to send a message to Songzhou City!"

"Gar what?"

"Gal Dongzan."

"What Dongzan?"

...

What a bullshit name, I have never heard of such a number one person in Tubo, I only heard that Tubo has a man named Lun Kerr and another named Shang Nang, and what is the name of your chief's name, Qi Zongnong? The farmer who turned his back on his ancestors? Hahaha, what kind of ghost names are they? "

"I heard that the nobles of Tubo are not just talking about it, are you talking about it or not?"

These words were undoubtedly playing tricks on him.

The Gar family was not native of Tubo. Although the Gar family has always claimed that their family is a descendant of the Mu family, one of the four ancient clans on the plateau, it is difficult to verify such a long history.

The Gar family was actually not from Tubo.

Before Langri Lunzan, Songtsen Gampo and his son led Tubo to dominate the plateau, the plateau was an era of small countries coexisting, with Tubo, Subi and Zhangxiong being the strongest.

The Gar family belonged to the Subi state. His family was originally one of the two great ministers of the Sengbojie family, the ruler of Yanbo Chasong, one of the Subi twelve small states.

The area ruled by the Senbojie family is exactly the Luoxie River Basin. The newly moved capital of Tubo, Luoxie City, was actually originally ruled by the Subisenbojie family.

And a long time ago, the Tubo royal family, the Xiboye family, was just a small state living in the south of Shannan.

During the era of Songtsan Gampo’s grandfather Dabnese, there was internal strife in the Senboje family, and it was divided into two branches, Senboje Dajiawu and Senboje Chi Bangsong. It was at that time that the Gar family belonged to the Tubo moved from Luoxie Pengyu to Qiongjie, Shannan.

Later, Songtsan Gampo's father Langri Lunzan took advantage of the civil strife in Subi and sent troops to help one side. Later, another dove came to occupy the magpie's nest and completely annexed Subi.

After Tubo exterminated Subi, the Luoxie area was not handed over to the original Senbojie family to continue to manage it, but out of political needs, it was handed over to the family who was born here, but had already belonged to Tubo and moved to the south of Shannan for a long time. Gar family.

With the support of the royal family, the Gar family ruled the Luoxi River Basin, and it can be regarded as entering the political core circle of Tubo. After Langri Lunzan was poisoned and killed, the Gar family also resolutely supported the young Songtsan Gampo. Their family is now on a higher level.

Gal Dongzan’s father, Garchi Zhazimen, served as the prime minister in the Langri Lunzan era. After Men's death, although his eldest son Garmang Xiang Songnang failed to become the prime minister, he also became Songtsan Gampo's confidant general.

Although the Gar family was not a royal family, Songtsan Gampo ranked him with several Tubo elder families and granted him the status of Lun together.

It is said that Songtsan Gampo admired Gar Dongzan's elder brother Mangxiang Songnang very much, and planned to promote him to be the second minister.

Therefore, Galdongzan can also be called Lundongzan. His full name is Galdongzan Yusong. At this time, he relied on the relationship between his father and brother and the family background. Although he was not yet forty years old, he could It has already emerged in the Tubo court, and it is appreciated and valued by Zanpu.

Although the Gar family is not a royal family, and even originally belonged to the aristocrats from Subi, the Tubo royal family has been reusing the aristocrats attached to Subi and Houzang from the time of Langri Lunzan to balance the original Tubo’s old aristocrats. Aristocratic power.

The background of the Gar family not only did not affect their status in the Tubo court, but on the contrary made their family more trusted by Zanpu.

"The general can call someone Lun Dongzan!"

"Wait."

Close the guard and repeat the next sentence, and there is no more text.

Gal Dongzan Yusong waited for an hour at the gate, and the guard's words came again after the gate was closed, "That Gar Dongzan is still talking about Dongzan, go back where he came from."

"With someone here, even a little fan dog slave would never have thought about passing through this pass!"

"Get out!"

Gal Dongzan did not expect this result, "Behind me is the 300,000 Tubo army led by my Zanpu..."

Before he finished speaking, he shot an arrow at him, but this time it came straight at him, and Gar Dongzan hurriedly retreated to avoid it.

"Shut down that dog slave and listen, the arrow just now was to be polite to you, otherwise it would not have been shot by a single arrow, but thousands of arrows would have shot you into a beehive. I am guarding Leiguan, and I am not afraid of you little fan slaves, So what if it comes to a million? If you have the guts, go back and recruit soldiers now, and fight grandpa with real knives and guns, or stop talking and talk, get out!"

Gal Dongzan never imagined that the 200,000 Tubo army was behind him, and he came to be an envoy to pass through Leiguan.

He still wanted to rely on his own ability to coerce and lure the Tang army in Songzhou to surrender, so how could he go back to deal with Zanpu now?

But in the face of the majestic pass and the arrogant and domineering Tang general guarding the pass, the eloquent Gar Lundongzanyusong was helpless.
